Machine offers option of making bags with flat handles in overfold

Daman-based Aristo Eco Pack has made a strategic investment in a ZD-450NB automatic paper bag-making machine from NBG Printographic, a move announced during the Pamex 2024 exhibition held in Mumbai in early February.

The machine’s unique feature allows the production of paper bags with flat handles in overfold or upright configurations.

Highlighting the machine’s overfold feature, Kaushil Shah of Aristo Eco Pack said, “The flat handle in the overfold feature of the machine is amazing. Because the handle is folded inside, it reduces your transit cost. Plus, you get more storage. You can add 30% additional volume into the container. The machine is fully automatic, which ensures consistent quality throughout. These types of paper bags are mainly for exports.”

Shah emphasized the growing demand for paper bags, foreseeing a complementary relationship between paper and plastic packaging. Aristo Eco Pack’s product range, including mailer bags and SOS bags with barrier applications, caters to various needs, including food product supplies and deliveries in India and the export market.

“Fashion brands such as H&M and Zara would be the target customers. All fashion brands, big retailers, food service deliveries, everyone. If it’s a white paper bag with value-added fancy printing, we can do that. This will be for the higher segment of the market,” Shah said.

Discussing the ZD-450NB’s features, Shah highlighted its versatility in accommodating different sizes, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. “The biggest paper bag the machine can make is 230 mm, which is big. It can accommodate all your cake boxes and sweet boxes. It can do smaller bags as well, which can accommodate your garments and everything. The inside fold, which is in a flat handle, is the biggest advantage,” Shah concluded.

Aristo Eco Pack says the investment underscores its commitment to innovation and efficiency in meeting the evolving demands of the packaging industry.

Packaging South Asia — resilient, growing and impactful — daily, monthly — always responsive

The 18-year-old multi-channel B2B in print and digital platform matches the industry’s high growth trajectory. The Indian, South Asian, Southeast Asian, and Middle East packaging industries are increasing capacity and diversification, with high technology and automation in new projects.

We are mid-way through 2024, and India’s real GDP growth for FY 24-25 will exceed 6.3%. The packaging industry growth will match the GDP growth in volume terms and likely surpass it by at least 2.5% according to our research company www.ippstar.org .

The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India has increased significantly over the past four years. We expect another 20% capacity addition in 2024 and 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels are growing similarly. As the consumption story returns, we expect demand to return and exceed the growth trajectory of previous years. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – and as shown by our analytics, our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.

For responsible and sustainable packaging, with its attendant regulations and compliances, there is significant headroom to grow in India and the region. Our impactful coverage includes the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf, to waste collection, sorting, and recycling. India is where the leading suppliers to the packaging industry are shifting their manufacturing – an opportunity with stable supply chains and low-cost production efficiencies.

We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, co-packers, and recyclers. If you want to reach them, your agility and innovation shown on the industry-leading platform can do some of the heavy lifting.
